Some people still neglect basic precautions such as using sunscreen after getting skin cancer, a new study has found. And this could have massive repercussions.
Researchers analyzed survey results from around 760 adults with skin cancer history as well as over 34,000 people without the same malignancies. Past skin cancer turned out not to be linked to lower odds of sunburn, according to study lead author and Johns Hopkins professor Alexander Fischer.
“We were surprised to see that. This population is already at high risk for developing a subsequent skin cancer,” he said via email.
Only 54 percent of those with a previous skin cancer diagnosis wore sunscreen – an improvement from the 33 percent among people without the same history, but one that leaves a lot of people still damaged by the sun.
In the United States, one in five will develop the disease, with one dying from melanoma, which is the most dangerous kind, every hour, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).
These make it very important to choose and use sunscreen carefully.
